Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.
ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily Giffin. He's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

One of the best books i ever read. It is so much more than just a cheesy love story!! It's all about overcoming our prejudices and our pride in our relationships with people aroud us. This book teaches us to put ourself in the other one's shoes and to think further than ourself...

By Conor Grennan. A great read. He has a good sense of humour that translates well into his stories. Very inspirational and shows the power of what one single person can do. It takes place in Nepal and revolves around a young American man who volunteers at an orphanage...

Chick 'n' Pug written by Jennifer Satterleigh and published by Bloomsbury. A 28 page young children's book for $8.99. It's about a chick who hates his chicky life and wants to be the wonderful pug he read about in his book. This is apparently part of a series since the back of...

Really enjoyable short novel. I love the history of food and culture, so this was right up my alley. Somewhat slow and dull in parts, but is brooding and kind and exciting in others. Gives a well rounded look at each of the few characters, flaws and all. Left me researching the...

This is a great book!! I tried some recipes, and then ended up buying it for myself (im a cookbook fanatic) I like a lot of their soups. Most recipes are very easy to make!

I am writing about the entire Earth's Children series here. Fair warning Jean M. Auel is one of my favourite authors. In the Earth's Children series you follow Ayla (the main character) on her interesting journey through mistreatment, isolation, and misunderstanding. Ayla was...

I loved the TV show. So when the season is over, I buy a couple of these. Robert Kirkman is very good at drawing you in to this world. You get very attached to the characters and the idea of hope in a hopeless world.

Robert Langdon awakens with no recollection of the past thirty-six hours... WTF! The interesting subject, compelling characterizations, an appealing plot that moves easily from one scene to the next, also remind me of thinking about the world where we live in. What really hit...

I'm normally a fan of Bertice Small's work. She usually has great plot, characters, action, and romance. And while her novel, Lara, contains all four of those things, I would hesitate to use the word 'great'. I honestly read about half of the book before stopping. I think it was...

This was the book where I became a Dan Brown fan and avid reader. I definitely recommend Dan Brown, who is an amazingly creative author/writer that makes use of a writing style that is sophisticated while accessible. Thrilling page turner of a story. I too share Langdon's...

The latest Pride and Prejudice fan fiction is a mash up of Goodnight Moon and Pride and Prejudice. The artwork is superior quality and a love letter to the classic Goodnight Moon. However as a Pride & Prejudice fan the story seemed a bit forced but it was funny in parts...

Im going to say, up front, this book is intense, and made me feel every emotion a person can feel. It's sad, and at some times, hard to read, but it also gave me hope for a reason that I cannot write for fear of revealing spoilers, which I dislike doing. The thing I liked...

Fairly enjoyable novel. A growing up story of a young boy in the south from a very traditional family. His saga of growing up and moving to New York is often marred by loneliness and sadness. The emphasis on food and recipes and leaning to cook was my favourite part of this book.

I love Kate Morton- I have read everything she has written. This book is great! I read it in one sitting on a rainy Sunday. The first portion is a bit slow to get going as she establishes the characters and settings and then it really takes off - twist after turn, it is hard to...

This is a gorgeous free ap, which is the story of a little bird named Gerry who gets lost in New York. We have all of the Ink Robin aps as my 2 year old son and I are big fans. This story is one of their best. It's done in a very fresh original format with cute quirky cartoon...
